Why be prepared? Snowmaggedon 2016

Ok just a quick post. Have company coming tonight and trying to get everything ready and cooked.I have been reading about the snow back east it looks horrible ( If you live there please be safe. And prayers to all affected). A lot of what I have been reading is talking about all the bare shelves and how everyone has been stocking up for the storm the last couple days.

When people ask me why food storage? Why have provisions on hand? Why be prepared for power outages? (I still get asked that.)This is why, just think about all the people the few people who are prepared, they don't have to risk going out, risk not finding enough to keep their family's feed for the few days they may be snowbound. I can't imagine any worse feeling then knowing a big storm was coming, and I have nothing at home, I got to the store to late and , and everything in the store was already gone. If you are prepared you don't have to worry about the power going off, how to keep their family warm, feed,and entertained you have it all handled. You can set back and enjoy the storm with peace of mind knowing you are safe and so is your family.

My neighbors(a family of 6) has come to us ( a family of 2) needing toilet paper, milk, eggs, bread and now their water is frozen. When will people learn to put a little back for days like these?

A little about me

I am married to my best friend.
Between the two of us we have 5 kids of which two still live with us.The 17 year old is still in high school, and the 19 year old is taking an advanced EMT class, (both girls). We raise Black Angus cows in addition to

A friend and I were talking the other day about the high cost of baby formula. I told her when I was a baby they used pet milk and c...
